Parents have a holiday home, they go several times a year for 2-3 wks at a time. Travel consists of a long drive (think 11am -6pm with a lunch stop) overnight ferry, then couple of hours drive again.
House is rural, looks nice, quiet I think. Local towns and villages.
They keep asking me to go with them. They will pay for everything. Previously I've said Im not willing to use 3 weeks of annual leave for it, and have animals to look after. This time though I'm on maternity leave and the animals are less and easier. Husband could look after them. I will however have a toddler and few months baby.
I can't say the idea of the holiday fills me with joy. The drive especially, I wouldn't fancy anyway let alone with 'the family'. I live my parents but not sure I fancy getting on for three weeks constant company.
Dm will be offended I feel sure. My siblings and kids are happy to take advantage of these free holidays wherever possible. I'm not keen on being paid for and can't/won't pay for a holiday I'm not that keen on.
So, aibu to keep saying no? And how do I get it across causing least offence?
